SEC. 1016. CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES PROTECTION.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the ‘‘Critical
Infrastructures Protection Act of 2001’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The information revolution has transformed the conduct
of business and the operations of government as well as the
infrastructure relied upon for the defense and national security
of the United States.
(2) Private business, government, and the national security
apparatus increasingly depend on an interdependent network
of critical physical and information infrastructures, including
telecommunications, energy, financial services, water, and
transportation sectors.
(3) A continuous national effort is required to ensure the
reliable provision of cyber and physical infrastructure services
critical to maintaining the national defense, continuity of
government, economic prosperity, and quality of life in the
United States.
(4) This national effort requires extensive modeling and
analytic capabilities for purposes of evaluating appropriate
mechanisms to ensure the stability of these complex and inter-
dependent systems, and to underpin policy recommendations,
so as to achieve the continuous viability and adequate protec-
tion of the critical infrastructure of the Nation.
(c) POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES.—It is the policy of the
United States—
(1) that any physical or virtual disruption of the operation
of the critical infrastructures of the United States be rare,
brief, geographically limited in effect, manageable, and mini-
mally detrimental to the economy, human and government
services, and national security of the United States;
(2) that actions necessary to achieve the policy stated in
paragraph (1) be carried out in a public-private partnership
involving corporate and non-governmental organizations; and
(3) to have in place a comprehensive and effective program
to ensure the continuity of essential Federal Government func-
tions under all circumstances.
